Kate and Anna McGarrigle perform "Why Must We Die?" on TV Ontario's "Studio 2" (July 23, 1997) soon after the release of their 1996 album "Matapedia". Performing with them are Michel Pépin (bass) and Joel Zifkin (violin).
The first 60 seconds are from a poor-quality source (VHS EP, linear audio, tracking problems) but the remainder is of higher quality (S-VHS SP, hi-fi audio).
This is Part 3 of 3.
Part 1 ("NaCl") is here: • Kate and Anna McGarrig... .
Part 2 (interview) is here: • Kate and Anna McGarrig...

Every song on "Matapedia" is a classic. Kate and Anna McGarrigle were the most gifted singers, songwriters and musicians.

What about reincarnation! I believe! We die, and live again! I loved hearing you two at Caffe Lena in the late 60's. Love!

I first heard this song many years ago, when they performed it in concert in San Francisco. So brave, so real, so honest. Words fail. 😿

I fell in love with this song when I heard it on the movie "Before Tomorrow" I'm glad I found it here.

Kate and Anna ask the primordial questions. It is always innate in them.

Que philosopher, c'est apprendre à mourir....et peut être que pour les chansons tristes, c'est pareil. Merci les frangines 👭

We are meat, we are spirit, We have blood and we have grace We have a will and we have muscle A soul and a face Why must we die ? We have eyes and intuition A DNA code and a name Some tend to logic, some superstition We have an aura and a frame Why must we die ? We are human, we are angel We have feet and wish for wings We are carbon, we are ether We are saints, we are kings Why must we die ? Why must we die ? We are men of constant sorrow We'll have trouble all our days We never found our Eldorado Where we were born We are meat, we are spirit We have blood and we have grace We have a will and we have muscle A soul and a face Why must we die ? Why must we die ? We are men of constant sorrow We'll have trouble all our days We never found our Eldorado Where we were born We are men of constant sorrow We'll have trouble all our days...
